Low fuel warning light

Having recently purchasing my first Toyota Camry the owners manual
tells about the low fuel warning light but know where does it tell you
how much fuel one has left in the tank. Does anyone know how much is
left? Mine is a 2000 model with a four cylinder engine.

On my '97 it's appx 2 gals. Should be able to get appx 60 miles safely on
the highway or across town to your favorite local station.

have had many toyotas corolla camry. always about 3 gal when the light
first starts coming on. you should fill up at that time. the gas in the
fuel tank cools the fuel pump which is located there. if you let it get
very low many times it can cause your fuel pump to overheat and go out.
your camry has an 18.5 gal tank so when the light first starts coming on
it should take about 15.5 gal to fill up.

I don't think so either.

My Camry has about 2 gallons left when the warning light comes on.

I once drove a Chrysler rental car that went about 2 miles after the fuel
warning light came on. Of course I ran out of gas and walked more than a
mile to get more gas, and had to walk back with the gas can.

Agreed, but where does the fuel get sucked in from? It has to be at
the bottom too, no point in having it any higher. I think the gunk
gets stirred up more when you run your tank too low and have to fill
it up and thereby stir up the stuff more than when half empty etc.
